hostname

hostname & network

	is my hostname transmitted as soon as i am connected ?
	* debian 9 is dedicated to ian murdock and i wonder why they (dev) have
not set (default) it as hostname.

	is a linux-hostname like a windows-code ?
	* a free replacement ?

	do i need a hostname ?
	* debian does not install without & "space" is not accepted.

	what is the hostname the more used on the net ?
	* i did not find a map, a table about that.

	does it provide more anonymity to choose it ?
	* is it not hidden or encrypted ?

	should a 'hostnamechanger' be a good idea as foss-privacy tool ?
	*it could take the last connected on a wifi-spot or the more common, a
doublon of a registered user.

~$ hostname
~$ hostnamectl
~$ hostname --fqd
